This striking new contribution to gender studies demonstrates the
essential role of Israelite and Near East law in the historical
analysis of gender. The theme of these studies of Babylonian,
Hittite, Assyrian, and Israelite law is this: What is the
significance of gender in the formulation of ancient law and
custom? Feminist scholarship is enriched by these studies in family
history and the status of women in antiquity. At the same time,
conventional legal history is repositioned, as new and classical
texts are interpreted from the vantage point of feminist theory and
social history. Papers from SBL Biblical Law Section form the core
of this collection.>
